Question

// AClass.m
// init
enemyBullets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
enemy1 = [[Enemy alloc] initWithBullets:enemyBullets];

// At some point
NSMutableArray *bulletsToDelete = [NSMutableArray array];
for(BulletEnemy *thisBullet in enemyBullets)
{
    // If I have to delete
    [bulletsToDelete addObject: thisBullet];
}
[enemyBullets removeObjectsInArray:bulletsToDelete];

//dealloc method
[enemyBullets release];
[enemy1 release];

Now Inside Enemy some point in time I do the following:

// Enemy.m
- (id)initWithBullets:(NSMutableArray*) _bullets{
     // Enemybullets is a var of Enemy
     enemyBullets = _bullets;
}

// At some point...
myBullet = [[BulletEnemy alloc] init];
[enemyBullets addObject:myBullet];
[myBullet release];

The problem is when I do the following at Aclass:

[enemyBullets removeObjectsInArray:bulletsToDelete];

The dealloc method inside BulletEnemy doesn’t get called because the retain count isn’t 0. Why? But If I release ACLass (which releases enemyBullets) then My bullets get deallocated.

Answer 1

Aparently, I was asigning something with retain propery, which made the object +1 thus not to deallocate. Just changed the propery to assign and it worked.
